Capture Close to the Line of Control
Security personnel operating in the Lam sector of Nowshera, Rajouri, intercepted a teenage girl as she moved toward the Indian side of the Line of Control (LoC). The 17‑year‑old was immediately taken into custody for preliminary questioning and later handed over to the local police.
The girl has been identified as Samiya Azeem, daughter of Mohammad Azeem, a resident of Khuiretta in Pakistan‑occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK).
Police Take Over the Probe
After the army completed its initial interrogation, Samiya was transferred to the Nowshera Police. Investigators are now reconstructing the route she used to reach the Indian side of the LoC.
In the first round of questioning, the teenager told officials that she had crossed the border by mistake. Security agencies are currently cross‑checking her claim and scrutinising the circumstances surrounding her movement.
All Angles Are Being Examined
Both the army and police are conducting a thorough review of the case. They are confirming the minor’s identity, mapping the exact path she took, and assessing whether the crossing was truly accidental or driven by other motives.
Given the strategic sensitivity of the region, officials are handling the matter with heightened caution, awaiting further evidence from ongoing interrogations and verification procedures.
Minor Status Shapes the Investigation
Since Samiya is only 17, the inquiry will follow legal protocols applicable to juveniles. The primary aim is to establish the facts surrounding her presence near the LoC, with no official motive disclosed at this stage.
Additional updates will be provided as the investigation advances and authorities determine any subsequent actions.
